The Discussion

Warning if you plan to use OpenDNS on your router, this will make a havoc on any services which rely on client DNS resolver for geolocation (YouTube is perfect example). This will essentially render entire geolocation useless. You will see more issues with YouTube buffering etc

On the last question, video display driver caused artifacts. You can restart the DWM process and it will also clear the issue, but it usually happens again the next time you right-click. that fade out effect just doesn't want to complete. It's definitely the driver from all I've seen, but one way to workaround it is to just disable those animations.
